“I need to crack the Mumbai traffic code - if I leave early, under the assumption that there will be traffic, I get completely clear roads and reach an hour before my meeting, and then because I can't find parking I end up having to walk anyway.”
“Whatever I have achieved in the industry is something I consider to be amazing.”
“In 'Race 3,' the only person I was scared of working with was Anil Kapoor.”
“Thank you Sachin Tendulkar. For teaching me and a million others how to be humble, how to keep fighting and above all how to be consistent in life. In whatever he does he is and always will be the man apart from my father who taught me about life. I love you.”
“I am a kid who grew up watching mainstream Hindi films like 'Sholay,' 'Satte Pe Satta' and 'Mr India.'”
“People need to differentiate me from my roles.”
“I don't feel secure as an actor. I want to do more films and get accepted by masses.”
“The point is movies can teach a lot without preaching.”
“I am damn happy for Huma. I think 'Kaala' will be a game changer for her, it is one of the nicest script.”
“Now that I am an actor (if you can call me that) I still watch movies with the same childlike enthusiasm.”
“Kabir sir is an extremely planned director. He knows how his film is going to look like and knows exactly what edits are to be made in the film. Thus, it helps the actor a lot when they work with somebody who is so planned.”
“Our lives are slowly but surely becoming connected to each other.”
“I am an actor so I have to do my work and going beyond societal norms.”
“One of the defining moments in my life was when I had the privilege to speak to him over the phone. I couldn't say anything - I was tongue tied. I just cried out of sheer happiness. That day I made a promise to myself; One day I will play for Sachin's team- I'll play for team India.”
“The traffic is getting worse everyday and thus making people do things they ideally wouldn't do and you can't blame them as sitting in their cars getting baked in the sun for at least a couple of hours everyday would turn anyone delirious.”
“After watching 'Stanley ka Dabba,' I just told myself that the one guy I have to work with is Amol Gupte. The reason being, his films are very simple and they create such a magical world around.”
“Ever since I became an actor, I wanted my film to release on Eid.”
“There are people who like my work. So there are exciting things coming up to me, but it's slow of course.”
“I have always maintained that music videos and web series are opportunities for actors and technicians, who haven't been able to do films together, to collaborate and make something exciting.”
“I can't do too many films.”
